Day 84 of 125
Sunday, July 25th, 2010
Weigh-in tomorrow morning. Not feeling as confident about this one, even though the first two weigh-ins went surprisingly well. I tend to make my own pasta meal to have during the week, the idea is to have only two, generally on a Tuesday and Thursday morning but it does vary. (It has whole wheat spaghettini, diced toamotes, chopped zucchini (sometimes) and (sometimes) a few chunks of chicken.) Well because of certain budget restrictions this week, we weren't able to make the usual amount of visits to the gorcery store to stock up on what was needed (it was horrendous to go 3 days without my skim milk!) and I ended up dipping into my frozen pasta meal stash for breakfast and dinner 3 1/2 days this week. I shiver at the thought of what this is going to do to my results this week. I don't eat that much bread like carbs in a day/week. Ay dios mio!
Anyway, my right calf is still bothering me, although it is on and off. I worry about it affecting tomorrow's workout. I felt pretty good for Saturday's but it seems that I tweaked it again today. I have Pure Carido and Cardio Abs tomorrow. Not my favourite combination thus far, although I am sure that will change once I enter Month 2. (Eeeek!)
As for now, tomorrow will be the start of my last 'Month 1' week, then it's on to Recovery Week, which I am thoroughly looking forward to.
On a side note, I think I may be starting to see a bit of a difference in my visceral fat. The question is though, am I seeing a change because I want to see a change or because there actually is a change. I guess only time will tell but I'm hoping it's the latter.
So, in keeping with total honesty as to how I am doing, I have a bit of disappointing news to share. This afternoon we had lunch out, I had a chicken teriyaki dish, (ultra yummy, chicken with bean sprouts, sliced carrots, broccoli and green peppers, covered in teriyaki sauce) while my husband went next door to A&W for a Papa Burger combo meal. So, as I said, with all honesty, I had 2 bites of his burger and a few bites of french fries. It wasn't much and I did regret having it afterwards since I've been eating clean this challenge but it did feel like a nice treat. Also, before I forget, I had 2 bites of my husbands cookie that he had for dessert. Actually, the little piggy that he is with this particular cookie shop, he actually ordered 4 cookies but I only had two bites of one cookie, just for a taste. I feel better that I've shared all that. We're all human and there's nothing wrong with a little treat every once in a while. :)
I hope everyone had a great day and had a wonderful weekend! :)
